So in my pre-planning I have found literally hundreds of trails in and around the Maob area. Being that a lot of you guys have done a few and have some localized knowledge, I ask what 5 trails would you guys try to do if you had only 5 days. Keep in mind that we will have some mildly built rigs but they are not buggies. Also what order would you run them, I am thinking easiest to hardest so if and when breakage happens, hopefully a few trails will have already been run. Ultimately we would like to see some of the famous ones and maybe get a couple of really high elevation and/or ghost towns in (even if we have to head into Colorado). I just ordered "Guide to Colorado Backroads & 4-Wheel Drive Trails, 2nd Edition" and "Guide to Moab, UT Backroads & 4-Wheel Drive Trails 2nd edition" So I'll be looking up your suggestions just to educate myself some. Thanks.

Fins 'n' things to get used to the slickrock

Hells revenge most famous trail in moab for a reason

Green day was a blast if you're not scared of some new body work

Pritchett canyon Same a green day, but packed with vehicles, and obstacles

Hells revenge again to try all the fun stuff

Poison spyder the first part is cool, but unless you want to see the overlook skip the second half

Golden spike same day as poison spyder(the trails are connected)

Some other people will chime in, but these are some of my favorites.

^^That's a good list bogof. Here's mine:

Day 1: Fins N Things for sure & if you start early enough - Hells Revenge

Day 2: Poison Spider-Golden Spike-Gold Bar Rim

Day 3: Area BFE to play around. Run Green Day as long as everyone has 35's, locked f/r 7 not afraid to get some. :crazy:

Day 4: Pritchett Canyon or Moab Rim

Day 5: Whatever you didn't do on Day 4 OR back to Hells Revenge to play :bannana:

Good suggestions, those seem to be the must do's. How about ghost towns?
